Place in a pot and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cover with the lid slightly ajar [to avoid spattering] and simmer, stirring frequently, for about 15-18 minutes until a bit thickened and flavors have developed. Taste and add more salt and pepper if needed and/or adobo sauce for more smokiness and spice. If the sauce becomes too thick stir in more vegetable broth to reach desired consistency. I like my sauce with some body to it, pourable but not runny.

This is currently my go-to sauce for just about everything except waffles. That is, unless we’re talking savory waffles. Whole other story in that case.
